    Finally, the waiting is over. The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) have finally announced the exam schedule for graduates of Physical Therapy schools in the Philippines, Pakistan, Egypt, and India.

    There will be two schedules for 2011, May 25 and December 11.

    FSBPT assures that NPTE-i (the fancy name for this racially discriminating examination) will just be in the same form as the NPTE exam that will be administered for students from the rest of the world. They said that the examination will provide a "fair assessment of entry level competence."
